I've tried everything.

If someone wants to give me a hand getting all of this worked out and fresh flashed, I'll shoot them some $$ via paypal.

I'm almost 100% my phone is rooted, just can't make a backup, upgrade to the rooted 147 stock rom, download the SU, or flash a custom ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] initial:
First, remove any zip files you downloaded for rooting purposes from your sd card (place them on your computer for safekeeping). Then, power off your phone and power it back on while holding volume down. At the top it'll give you an HBOOT VERSION. Which version do you get?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirk1978:
Says 0.76.2000
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Land Master:
Excellent..suggest you follow the "starting over" method by whitslack which can be found in the development section...very easy...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirk1978:
Success at last.

Thanks a ton!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] initial:
Glad you resolved that. Feel free to seek any more help if you need it!

I have this same issue, however my hboot version is 0.79.0000. Suggestions?

Your nand is still locked. Depending on your software version you will have to root then nand unlock. Let's see if I can help you. What version is your Software Number?

Menu->Settings->About Phone->Software Information->Software Number
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceintheh0l3:
Thanks for the response.

I've actually made a good amount of progress. I've followed toastcfh's post about unlocking my nand and it is currently reflashing.I'll give you my versions and suck when everything is said and done
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grindboy:
Hi Guys,

Slightly odd request. I'm planning on making a regular tech vlog/podcast and I definitely want to review android apps. I want the production level of this show to be high so I don't want to be filming my phone.

I've looked into using Android Screencast but the framerate is really low and almost unusable for review/how-to purposes. A recent post by Lifehacker showed how to run a emulated version of Android with market enabled. The latest version is only 1.6 however. I'd like to be able to review any android app so 2.1 is a must.

Does anyone know of a way I can run 2.1 with Market enabled whether this is through the standard SDK or something like virtualbox. SDK files or ROMs would be fine just as long as I can install apps and review them.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7 Professional so a solution for either would be great.

Many Thanks

Grinboy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grindboy:
BUMP.

Could someone at least explain why this isn't possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grindboy:
Ok last bump and then I'll let this die. Can't believe no one has an answer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sbarne3:
I too would like to know this... I have been searching for a while tonight trying to find the answer (that's how I found this thread), but the only information I can find says to use the system.img file from a nandroid backup, but I haven't been able to make that work... It just boots to the android screen with the blinking cursor
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andreimoto:
only 1.6 for this time that can using market
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fonix232:
Maybe if you grab some 2.1 firmware (nexus one, desire, G1 CM 5.0, etc) and put Vending.apk into your original system.img then, MAYBE, will be the Market application.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SeEsAw12:
Why don't you invest in an HD camera and place it over your phone. Tons of professional sites do that. It gives it a more hands-on feel, IMO
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] A8000:
Hello i'm rooting my mytouch 1.2 for the first time, i've followed all instructions on unlockr, computer recognized phone, gold card successful, installed sappIMG and i've been stuck on htc magic screen for over 35 minutes. So the phone has never got to home screen where unlockr says the touch screen wont work, its been stuck on the htc magic screen. Do I just go ahead with the next procedures or what? thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NetrixTardis:
yes, just move along and install custom ROM
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Wow. The instructions must have been changed a lot since I rooted my phone.

When I rooted it was pretty easy to follow.

Make goldcard

Place goldcard in phone

Reboot to bootloader to flash sappIMG

Reboot to bootloader again to flash custom recovery

Flash stock spl 1.33.0013 back to device (so that you have all of your memory back)

Reboot to recovery to flash your custom rom.

Set up your phone

Reboot back to recovery and do a nandroid backup.
[Android Apps and Games] Raadius:
Having an HD2, I simply loved what Cookie has down with the look and feel of the UI, my only problem is the phone just sucked, lol. Ok, that was too much, my bad you HD2 owners browsing, but I really like how Cookie made a smaller version of the clock/weather widget for the homescreen. Here is a pic, outlined in red of course lol.

Also, another cool touch was the clock would flip to a new time, here is a video

I even notice some guy with an iPhone hacked Sense UI with a working flip clock, lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=9HLK...eature=related

I think Home++ does this, not for sure, anyway to extract just the time/weather widget from it?

Here is some pics of Home++ clock/widget

Please does anybody know how to get these 2 working on Android?
[Android Apps and Games] Giland:
Unsure of the name of that program , but you can test out :

I find it almost like the HTC Clock only smaller.

YR.no Widget

Tried it, ran very slow on my Evo, it was a nightmare so I deleted it.

Well you could try Beautiful widget in the market
[Android Apps and Games] Raadius:
Not a fan of Beautiful Widgets

[Android Apps and Games] mhrc4:
Do a search on androidforums for FancyWidget
[Android Apps and Games] Raadius:
Fancy doesn't have a smaller clock, just the large one.
[Android Apps and Games] Carloswithac:
Beautiful Widgets has the smaller home.
[Android Apps and Games] SiL3nTKiLL:
beautifual widgets does the job for me
[Android Apps and Games] sp1kez:
beautiful widgets doesnt have the white flipclock like HTC , only a dark one that doesnt look veyr good

Fancy Widget looks amazing, just liek the real deal, but I have a problem where the time sometimes gets stuck and you have to refresh it manually
[Android Apps and Games] adjr:
Thanks, I will try it out

Where can I download the Clockwork Mod Recovery installation files? All the links I've found appear to be dead:

droidaftermarket.com/koush/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-supersonic.img

droidaftermarket.com/koush//recoveries/flash_image
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisyoung:
download ROM manager from the market and try installing it through the app...

if it fails for some reason the img file for the recovery is in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/www.droidaftermarket.com/koush/recoveries

Seriously, these ridiculous threads have to stop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GumboChief:
The mods can very easily restrict the Evo Dev forum to more senior members, and have chosen not to. Flyertalk.com has several forums hidden/locked in this way.

Perhaps you should contact the local XDA mods, directly?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud858rk:
High post count ≠ good forum etiquette.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austontatious:
Just as an alternate viewpoint... why was this a ridiculous thread? I had an issue yesterday where I couldn't get Rom manager to flash clockwork. I didn't know where the files were located, I would have loved to have been able to flash clockwork manually, as opposed to wipe-restore-wipe-restore until I got Rom manager to work. We are not all hackers, I wasn't writing Linux at 9 (or 29). But I shouldn't have to be interning at Google to take advantage of these forums, and who better to ask where they put the files than the devs who write the code. Maybe this belongs in q and a, but it isn't ridiculous and junior members shouldn't be barred from posting. If we were all devs then no one would be supporting or donating, we would just do it ourselves. And if noobs couldn't ask questions, they would forever remain noobs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marclile:
i agree to a certain point i guess :)

by the way. here are all of the recoveries:

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GumboChief:
Maybe not, but at least most folks with 75 posts would know not to put a crap thread like this, in Dev.

Besides, Flyertalk uses a post + age method to disable write access to sensitive forums.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ranwej:
Maybe you know, that HTC using in Android phones with SenseUI 2.1+ roms (Eclair and Froyo too) some kind of bluetooth drivers (maybe from Android 1.5) which doesn't support all features of original Android OS 2+ drivers. So you can't connect bluetooth keyboard to sense-ui phones, but in Nexus One or unofficial NO-SENSE roms works fine. So is there any way, how to use real Android 2.1 bluetooth drivers in Sense ROM? Support from HTC is really dumb and cannot provide any normal response, why is not possible to use BT keyboard with they phones, when OS 2+ have to support needed SPP and HID profiles.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unteagle:
I don't really feel like messing around trying to root my phone right now, but I was just wondering what I will have to do when the official froyo launches.

Is it going to be a simple install or will I have to go in and do all that technical stuff anyway?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churapa:
Sure you have to
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi2u2:
Official froyo from HTC will most likely be a simple click and install, similar to the stock ROM that is currently on their website.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joesalad21:
Rooting the phone is as simple as running a program on your pc and plugging in the phone...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unteagle:
i certainly hope so
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seboj:
It will be. Custom Froyo roms will be available on XDA long before the OTA however.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Asterdroid:
Hey guys. I'm an Incredible user, but my girlfriend has an Eris. I'm tired of hearing her ***** about the speed of the phone, and how it occasionally locks up on her, so (now that the easy root method for leakers is out) I'm about to root her phone and install a custom ROM (hopefully).

Now, I have a few questions for you folks since I'm not familiar with the Eris community at all (and I have some time constraints since she needs her phone back).

1. I'm looking for a ROM recommendation. What I'm looking for is something extremely stable and fast. I don't need any bells/whistles. She doesn't use tethering, at all but it must have GPS/Camera/Bluetooth/MMS working. Don't really care if it has Sense, but if there is something fast/stable WITH sense, that would not be a bad thing. Most important things are speed and bug-free (or damn close). Froyo would be nice (obviously).

2. I am unfamilar with overclocking. I come from a phone where you overclock by installing a hydra kernel, so I don't know how this works on the Eris. It sounds like I will have to manually set up overclocking in SetCPU, and I'm not familiar with the application. If anyone can give me some tips on how to do this, or recommended settings that would be AWESOME. One thing to keep in mind is that this is not my phone, so I won't have time to tinker with trial and error (in other words I won't be able to start testing at 850mhz and work my way down until it's stable).

I know this is a lot to ask, but I'm hoping some of you guys will be able to help me out given the circumstances. Thanks in advance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
evil eris is fast stable and sense built. has some bells and whistles but smooth. and there are other very stable fast sense roms , i just prefer an AOSP vanilla rom instead.

setCPU is just a set of slide bars for the most part that control highest and lowest settings in mhz, 768 being highest stable average setting, 806 being highest reported (very few)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Asterdroid:
Thanks for the info. do I need to install a custom kernel to go along with evileris or is that all I need to flash?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I wouldn't suggest Evil Eris since 4.0 is coming out but if you can wait until then you can try to. I might suggest XTRom, it seems to be stable without any features missing.

Actually some phones can get to 825mhz but that's very rare I've only seen that in two cases, I suggest trying 768, it's the most stable speed for the general eris user (some unlucky folks can't get passed 710mhz.)

Basically download setcpu, put it on the phone, click "autodetect" and you've got your speeds. I suggest setting a heat profile to around 42 degrees at your highest priority.

I also suggest not going under 160mhz, the phone freezes up at 19mhz.

For screen off/ standby you can do 160-480mhz

For regular under 100% battery I suggest 748mhz max and 245mhz min.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
No kernels necessary, just use "autodetect"
[Droid Eris Android Development] Asterdroid:
Ok. One more question. I've got the android SDK installed from when I rooted my incredible. Can you point me toward a guide that will explain how to get ADB access on the Eris?

Edit: One thing I forgot to mention. This IS a phone with a leaked 2.1 OTA installed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Asterdroid:
Nevermind. Got it :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
K, if you've got any other questions I'd be happy to answer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
I have done the exact same thing you are doing, and EE was where I wound up too. Here are my thoughts however.

EE does FC a bit more than stock, its fast though. If you need to do it now,I would consider the Xtr Sense rom as a start, then hell, let me know if its worth switching to.

If you have a little time to wait, I would do EE4. The negative aspect of doing this for a girlfriend, or wife, is they don't tend to have the patience we have with bugs. To them it is not some dev busting his ass to help make their phone better... its "oh crap he is going to 'fix it' again". And sadly no matter how good you are at fixing things, that one mistake you made back in 1997 will haunt you for life!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Asterdroid:
Exactly why I needed something super stable. Hopefully EE does the trick because I'm done flashing it :)

I'm setting up OC right now. Hopefully this will be nice and stable.

I've only got a half hour to finish lol.

She's pretty good about me hacking her phone, though, so I'm sure flashing EE4 won't be a problem. I just want to wait until it's got all the kinks worked out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpShit420:
Just a suggestion for your SetCPU settings. You shouldnt have such a big jump i.e. 245-748 because it causes lag alot of times from the major change in cpu jumping. Try 768 - 528 then screen off 378-248. Since changing mine to something similiar to his it runs smoother coming out of sleep. Stock when I got a text message it would vibrate then three seconds later make the notifcation sound. Now since changing setCPU like this it does them the same time. Just a suggestion.....Good Luck Bro....By the way eris lighting bolt it damm good and so is white widow even though some peole dont like the cook of the latter for some reason
[Droid Eris Android Development] Asterdroid:
Thanks for all the help guys. She's soooo much happier with her phone now. The difference in response time is huge.

Now, I do have one last question/request. Can you guys recommend some themes that work with EvilEris 3.0?

I'd prefer ones that can be pushed through recovery rather than have to use Metamorph, if possible.

Edit: Sorry. One more. A keyboard with a voice to text button while in both landscape and portrait.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rw6497:
yeah white widow definitely probably one of the more impressive roms for speed ,stability and battery life. .
[Droid Eris Android Development] PimpShit420:
if you use a cynagon mod rom then I have found a theme called enoch that I love and its flashable. It is a black theme but looks really good.

As for the keyboard there is an XDA HTC IME keyboard with voice to text on here somewhere just search........

Congrats on getting everything running.
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
I thought i was getting smarter...i was downloading and installing stuff with no problems until this clock program. Can some one tell me how to make it work please. I am running cht's newest version but can't get the clocks to show up...it shows that they are installed...but can't find where they are and how to make them work. Help please...thank you
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
It would probably help to know what clock app you are trying to use.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
It should be in the advanced settings in CHT...there's a drop-down list there to choose whatever compatible clock you have installed.
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
Thank you I will look in the advanced setting and see if that helps.
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
I have cookies 1.8.5 and there is no advanced drop menu I can find. I'm trying to use the clock called "the bull C3". From xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670136
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Ok well I'm running an older version of CHT (1.7) so I don't know if it's in the same place, but I access it by hitting the "menu" soft button on the home screen, then choosing "edit home layout". Once it enters the editing mode there, you should find the "advanced" button in the bottom right.
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
Ok...I found the advanced menu right where you said it was..but the clocks I installed don't show up in the options...do I have to install the cab file in a special place to get it to show up in the advanced menu?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Hmm...it was my understanding that whichever clock you have installed (I think you can only have one "actively installed" at a time) would show when you picked the appropriate option in the list...like "analog 1" or "analog 2"

Try picking each of the options that do show in the clock list, and see if any of them are the one you think is installed
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
Nope that didn't work...it's not there...I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. I really appreciate all your help. I must be retarded or something.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
lol no, I just can't say for sure how to choose them in 1.8.5...you might have better luck finding someone who knows the answer by posting in the thread the clocks are in :o
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
Hey I don't know what happened but I lost the standered anolog clock, so I restarted my phone and the one I installed just showed up!!! It must be a miracle from GOD!!! Like I said before Thanks alot for your help...thank you, thank you, thank you. You must have willed it onto my phone with ESP or something. YOU DA' MAN!!! I have never had so much trouble with an app.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
lol I'm glad it works for you now, I know how frustrating that kind of thing can be. Had you done a soft-reset after you first installed the clocks? Sometimes changes in WM just need to be kick-started with a 2nd reboot.
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
Yeah I tried to re-boot it several times after installing it...then I uninstalled it and went on here asking for help...then I installed again and re-booted several times during our discussion....then on one re-boot the standard analog clock disappeared...so one more re-boot and magically the one I installed showed up. Now I'm just praying it doesn't have a virus or something. You don't happen to know of a anti-virus for the hd2 do you? Thanks again for all your help.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Nope...I know that there are some AV apps out there for winmo, but I've never felt compelled to test or use any. I'd have a hard time believing that your issue was casued by anything like that though. I'd suspect it's more likely related to the fact you installed all the clock cabs at once, but that's just a guess.
[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
In Marketplace look up 'Lookout'. Its free and works great. But if you are on the stock ROM still dont use it. I had some issues when I was on my original ROM and it froze it to the point I had to hard reset. But it includes antivirus, Malware scan, firewall, etc. Plus it has a nice feature where if its stolen you can remotely (from any PC) 'NUKE' your phones contents. You can also pinpoint its location and go get it. GL!
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
Alright...thanks guys...I appreciate all the help I can get, and hopefully one day I can return the favor.
[HD2 General] 111Kestrel:
After installing the clocks cab. then go into edit mode press the old clock till the remove tab appears, then hold the empty sapce till add new tab.appears and select analog 1 from dropdown menu, soft reset and new clock should show. In fact you can get 2 different clocks to display-- one for day and one for night.
[HD2 General] spursfan1966:
how do you get one clock for day and another for night?
[HD2 General] toreone:
Most of the clocks for the 1.8.5 it says you have to uncheck sense install/restart your phone/then click sense back on...yeah pretty complicated other wise it will not show up...usually a reboot will take care of it...As far as two different clocks..I am pretty sure that is not possible...only one at a time...
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
Hello,

I have been using the ChuckyROM for quite some time now, and I have been very pleased. Today, when I got the phone out of my pocket, I noticed that it was completely shut down (even if it had its battery somewhere around 98% last time I checked). I started it only to see a white screen, nothing at all happening. I removed the back cover, reset the phone via the red small button, but the result was the same white screen. I decided to remove the battery, the SIM card and the SD card and leave it to cool off for 10-15 minutes. 15 minutes later, I picked it up, put everything back together, started it, and only got that annoying white screen.

I left it charging for about 3 hrs (it usually charged up in about 2 hours, tops) and the LED kept staying red, as if it was not fully charged. I disconnected it, and the LED still wouldn't go off. I tried booting it, nothing happened, at all. Soft reset via red button, and the LED went off and the phone went back to that white screen again.

Right now it is connected to my laptop, apparently charging (red LED on), and I really don't know what to do.

My ROM was ChuckyROM with the GTX Sense theme.

I'm using HSPL 1.42.HSPL.

Radio version was 2.08.50.08_2.

I also have to mention that I can get the bootloader showing up, so I might try and revert to a stock ROM, but I preferred to post here first and get some suggestions.

What can I do? Please help me!

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] otacon:
If I were you, I might just take my chances and install a Stock ROM. See what happens after that...
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
Yeah, this was my intention to be honest. Do I need to change the HSPL before doing this? And if not, can I change it back to 1.48.0000 after reverting to a stock ROM?
